Top failures
Coil spring fractured or broken 10.35%
A broken coil spring can leave the car sitting low or unstable, so it must be replaced before driving.
Stop lamp not working 9.09%
A failed stop lamp means drivers behind cannot see when you brake, a safety risk that must be fixed.
Track rod end ball joint excessively worn 8.33%
Worn steering ball joints can affect steering control and safety, so repair is needed before the car is driven.
Suspension ball joint excessively worn 4.79%
A worn ball joint can fail and cause loss of steering control, so it must be replaced promptly.
Anti-roll bar linkage ball joint worn 4.09%
A worn linkage ball joint can rattle, affect handling and eventually fail, so it should be replaced.
Brake pads worn below 1.5mm 3.97%
Pads worn below 1.5mm lose stopping power and can damage discs, so replacement is needed before the car is driven.
